GLAUCOMA

I have had the experience of suffering from glaucoma. Well, that is a misnomer to say it like that. Unfortunately, no one has ever had this problem. Since there is no cure then the only way it can be said that you had glaucoma is if you are dead. Last time I checked I don’t fall into that category.

I have Glaucoma.

Ah…. sorry, wrong again. My problem is a thing called psudeo exfoliation syndrome which causes glaucoma type symptoms and end result is the same. In short, you go blind and not only is this thing incurable, it is also irreversable. Like every medical condition, there are many types of glaucoma. I am not an expert and in fact, had never even heard the word until it was used in the sentence by my doctor when he said “You have glaucoma”. It all started there, and the next page is the story only of the last year or so of my experience with the disease.

The texts on here are in no way intended to teach people about glaucoma or what to do about it if they ever found out that they have it. I put the account of that time and whole experience up here for my own record first, and secondly it just may help another sufferer out there to read this story and know that they are not alone. Please read the disclaimer carefully before launching into the Trabeculectomony story. It is a long story, so if you have an interest, get comfortable, and read the next page.
